Henry Cholmondeley, an infant son of Earl 0.191m0-rideley, was celebrat ed %ith great sPlendour and true British hospitality, on Friday last, at Choldiondeley Castle, Cheshire. At breakfast, a proltiton of presenni were made to the little hero of the day. At one the whole family, and most of the distinguished persons in ttie neighnonrhond, and a vast body besides, as sembled near the old Hall. The sports soon began wit h a pig race, which excited much diversion.. This was followed by a donkey race. Six donkies Starti-d, and there were five heats for the prize, silver tankard.. The company,in general,were highly ainused with this race, which. excited a strong interest. Between the heats a saCk-race took place. Five men contended for the prizes, and their harmless mishaps during the struggle, produced much entertainment. The prizes were paid in solid cash, which operated as a balm for all bruises. Five hardy nymphs then .en gaged in a smock race, and'the prize was perhaps the largest ever seen on such an . occas on; and to render it ,the more valuable and alluring; it was abundantly ornamented. with ribbands of various co- lours. On the conclusion of the races, all of Which- . afforded great merriment, there was a game. at prison bars, eleven men on each side. This manly diversion continued till near five o'clock, and pre sents were so liberally distributed to the'Vanquished, as well as the vi&lors, that' no sting 'accompanied:, defeat, but all were satisfied. The chief part of the company then returned to the; Castle.' During the whole of these di%ersions, the drums beat mer rily, the fiddles were actively in motion, if tiot ex attly in concert, a l id - the country pipes added to the cheering sotind. The ditino. - Was Magnificent, and or course plenteous. The guests were all of the most 'respectable 'description, and 'convifiality was the order of the day. A ball followed, crowd ed with visitors, who were invited on the; field of anion by the animated little champion of .t tie day. Thecornpany b:gan'to disperse about two o'clock in the morning. Lady CholmOndeley Laid Mal i-is, kept up the ball, to the last, and exerted, them selves to the utmost to render the coinpany'happy, and their endeavours were completely successful, ' for-nothing but hat mony, good humOut i and cheer ful animation, marked the whole ot.t his rustic tete, which was in all respects worthy of the liberal and amiable Nobleman by whom it was Oil). The private letters which have reached town' by the way of kieligoiand, bring accounts ,of , the con- - fiscation of a great number of ships in the purls of the Baltic, under the pretext that their.cargoes were pre perty.

HAMBURGH, AUG. 26.—We have received the disat:,reeable intelL;ence from Mecklenburg, that the French base entered that place, and their first operations commenced by searching for Englkh property, and sealing all the Merchants' counting. houses ; after which they confiscated all Etigibh goods they could find." Extract of a letter, dated' SiCily, July 10, 1810.. " King MURAT keeps us constantly .nn the alerte , -- he has lately been visited ,by the French Geneial CiESAR BERTHIER, who no doubt is sent by high authority to spot him up to the attack of the -bland of Sicily.. lint this he is every way prepared; but as we now, thank GOD, have a good naval force to co-operate with us, we rest pretty t..cure that when he does attack uS, one half of his force will perish at sea, and the other half Swallolt , the bayonets of as fine .an army, for its numbers, as' the. woild ever produced.

UNION HAL L.—John Pettit was charged yesterday on suspicion Of stealing a'quantity'of port wine, tin property of Mr. Clandsley, of Philpot-street. t ap peared that Mr. Claudsley's house being under .a state of repair, the prisoner and several other work men were employed there. Mr. Clandsley was out of town; and the concerns of the house were left under the management ofa clerk, who lived On the premises. The clerk having occasion to go down to the wine-cellar on Saturday last . discovered thit . the door had been forced, and several bOttles of wine taken away ;, and having a suspicion of the prisoner ; he immediately procured an officer, and went to the prisoner's house to search his premises. The pri soner, however, when they arrived there, contrived to get upstairs first, and saying' something to his wife in a language they did not understand, lie de-, tained them at the door, whilst the %vile threw some bAtles out of the window into the back yard. 'On examining the yard afterwards,, the officer discovered it was covered with pieces of glass bottles, and the pavement stained with wine. Carrying.t heir search further, they discovered a full bottle of port thrown down the privy, which on examination proved to have a mark on theink similar to some in Mr. Ciand sley's cellar. . • Mr. Clandsley could not speak accurately to the quantity of wine he had, but believed it amounted to upwvds Of fourteen dozen.

CADIZ, Auo. 16.—The enemy have not yet, ventured to make any attempt to cross the narrow channel, by which we are divided from them, nor is it likely they ,Oon will. We' continne to exchange shots with them, but we are chiefly employed in erecting batteries, mounting heayy guns, mortars, &c. and the enemy are occupied in a similar way on the opposite side. From the situation and strength of this place, I think it is impossible that the French can ever,take it. The channel as fill of gni;bosts, and the shore on our side is lined with batteries;, besides; the French .would have to march bet vre three and four miles across a flat wet swamp, befor,.! they could reach the bank to.oppose us; as to their forcing the road-way, that is impossihle. ti.ey possess Puerto-de-Real and the foot of Matagor,!p, wb!ch is \ opposite to ,Cioiz, yet all this is a ito avail.

The troops are in ex cellent health and high spirits, and we are abundant- Iv supplied with provisions of all sorts ; in a 'word, there is no want of any thing.
